Didn't fit

This bra is a full lace BM, that extends to the band as well. It's a rich brown colour and the camera honestly doesn't do it justice. The cup has a black lining, which lends to a deeper brown. The cup is four part construction, with a vertical seam on the lower half and a stretchy upper half (the upper half section is lined with stretch tulle). There is also another section of material that connects the upper half, lower half and straps.

When measuring, both the minimum and maximum cup depth were recorded. However it was the maximum cup depth that I had entered in the measurements table. ... The maximum cup depth was measured by stretching the cup over the knee. This was recorded at 14 inches. The minimum cup depth was measured by hovering the cup between the knees and hanging the tape measure. This was recorded at 12.8 inches. The cup depth measurements, do not seem the be the standard for the range however, so it's entirely possible I got a rogue bra.

The band stretches from 22.7 to around 28 inches. I find that doing it up on the 3rd hookset is most comfortable for me. (This is the second loosest hookset)

As for the the fit, it juuust about misses the mark for me. I seem to be having a certain string of luck when it comes to EM bras. On my larger side, I am getting some noticeable centre-spillage, but the bright side is that you can't really see it under clothes (depending on what the top is like). the smaller side has it but to a much lesser extent. The gore sits about one and a half finger away from sternum, which isn't really a problem for me, and I don't consider it a deal breaker. It's something that happens in almost every bra. I am close-set and my centre-fullness, I think, contributes to this occurrence. The bra itself is very comfortable and I honestly can't complain when it comes to that.

One unfortunate thing that seemed to have occurred, was that the stitching on the band (where the elastic is sewed on to the lining and the outer lace) seemed to have unraveled at the end. So I'm not sure what happened there. But I've since stitched that up.

  You know, I'm starting to think when every bra that we get seems to be a rogue bra... maybe it's just the norm...
- lol brasaremean maybe...but then I see other bras in the range with other measurements and I can't justify it.

  I am so sorry you keep getting the rouge seamstress. My heart goes out to you. 💙
  Between the wire width, cup depth, & stitching issues, ugh, I don't even know what to say aside from I am sorry. :-(
  Big hugs 💙

  I expected a lot more quadding, but it's not terrible. The wonders of 3D bras vs singular measurements! Hopefully you can get some use out of it and it is painfree. 💙

  Yep.. that's why I'm not too bummed out with this one (^_^). It really did surprise me. I can definitely get some use out of this one. Thanks :)

  I know howyou feel, I experienced the same thing with my 60L SFs. The measurements did not match the fit. But hey, we'll take smaller measurements with wearability over larger measurements & pains any day!

  Frazzleberry this is beautiful color on you! It seems to me this amount of overspill is at least partly a size issue, possibly with materials/construction also contributing. I hope I am not being repetitive as I can't see all the comments, but if you rescoop/swoop and immediately force the gore to your sternum, does that eliminate the quadding or just make it worse? If the quadding is worse when you force it to tack, it's clearly at least a bit too small, though the stretchy upper cup material may also be contributing to the fit fail if it is not supportive and strong enough for you. But if force-tacking eliminates the quadding, that may mean that the cup is just buckling (often with fabric scrunching up under the breast more and more as the day goes by), and that a cup of similar volume, but with a more robust construction and materials would actually work great. I noticed that your SF shape bra which has a more open neckline, two seams on the lower cup and does not have the stretchy lace appears to do a better job of containing and supporting all the breast tissue, so those could be features you want to look for in future purchases!
- wendybien thanks, I really do like the colour on this one. If I reswoop/coop and force-tack the quadding is worse. The SF does support the tissue better (so I would like to try that one again some day..lol), but (and this is a huge one) I get a ridiculous amount of spillage throughout the day with that one. Like not just center spillage but full-on quadding (on both sides).
  
  It didn't seem that way initially when I got it. But once I moved around and started wearing it for the day. Yep. It's also pretty noticeable under most of my tops (the quadding for the SF that is)

  ok so it's likely a combination of factors with this one, and with the SF I would not be surprised if you needed a bigger cup too (also perhaps the band was too loose for you? can't remember the size now!) Some people find that the "blunted" effect of Ewa's round round cup options can rob them of needed apex projection, so sometimes you can solve that by sizing up, sometimes not... If not, a similar volume but in one of the designs that is also padded and seamed but allowing great apex projection can be the one you want. It's very individual trial-and-error.
  
  Basically when you are in this cup volume range and you are young/growing new tissue and thus have all this dense, heavy, projected natural tissue, especially with a small ribcage, you ideally want all the stars to align for fit to work: the materials should be really supportive (this is why some super-full-bust-range bra peeps strongly prefer a padded material because it is pretty tough once shaped and strengthened by seaming), plus you want ALL THE SEAMS lol and you want them placed just right for your specific body! So yes, that's a lot. But providing all these fit features is part of EM's raison d'etre, so I hope you can figure out the magic formula!
- Lol yes, there a lot of t's to cross when it comes to what's needed, so I get that.. I do eventually plan to try the SF again in a larger cup size (I had sister sized with that, so it was a 65K) and the S series, just waiting on the right time
